On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

To hear spoken responses from Siri on your device, tap Voice Feedback, then choose from the following:

Always On: Siri will speak responses, even when your ring switch is set to silent.

Control with Ring Switch: Siri silences all spoken responses when the ring switch is set to silent. You'll still hear a beep when you use Siri and hear voice feedback when you use "Hey Siri," or when you're connected to a Bluetooth device, headphones, or CarPlay.

Hands-Free Only: Siri will only beep and speak responses when you use "Hey Siri," or when you're connected to a Bluetooth device, headphones, or CarPlay.

On your Mac

If you have a Mac with macOS Sierra or later, go to Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Siri. From here, you can choose the following:

Language: Change the language that Siri will use for requests and responses.

Voice Feedback: Turn on to hear spoken responses from Siri. If you turn this off, you won’t hear a spoken response but will see Siri’s response in the Siri window.

On your Apple Watch

Siri uses the same language and voice on your Apple Watch that's set up on your iPhone. On Apple Watch Series 3 or later, you can have Siri speak responses. On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > Siri. Under Voice Feedback, choose from the following:

Always On: Siri speaks responses, even when your Apple Watch is set to Silent Mode.

Control With Silent Mode: Siri silences all spoken responses when your Apple Watch is set to Silent Mode.
